Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This book attempts a comprehensive compilation of previously ungathered sources concerning self-taught American artists who draw or paint, carve or sculpt, make assemblages, or create art environments. Profiles of galleries, museums, and recent exhibitions focusing on contemporary folk and outsider art include notes on the artists represented. Abstracts cover 459 books and exhibit catalogs, 645 periodical articles, 362 newspaper articles, and 66 audio or visual materials. Brief biographical sketches are included for more than 1000 artists. Contacts for national and regional organizations and a listing of art environments currently open to the public are given. Completing the work is an index that cross-references artists featured throughout this directory. Complementing Chuck and Jan Rosenak's biographical dictionary, Museum of American Folk Art Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century American Folk Art and Artists (Abbeville, 1990), this is a unique addition for larger art collections.
